Flatscreen TVs are the must-have technology item of the decade.

Everyone who doesn't own one wants one. And most of those people who have got one, want a new one.

But there's so much to consider when buying a new TV these days, that many people are actually scared away. Do you go for Full HD? Or is HD-ready okay? Do you go with LCD or Plasma? What's a contrast ratio?

What you really need is a big list of all the best TVs, so that whichever one you choose, you know you're guaranteed quality and value for money.

And surprise surprise, here we have just such a list! These TVs are all fantastic. Some of them offer great value for money, while others offer the best quality for a higher price. Which one you buy is entirely up to you.

This 26-inch telly from Sony is ideal for a kitchen or bedroom. Available for as little as £350, it's as big a bargain as you're likely to find at the low-end TV market. It's got Freeview built-in which is a must these days, as well as a solid contrast ration and 1366x768 resolution. The Bravia electronics do a fine job with colours, delivering one of the most natural palettes you'll see underpinned by solid black levels and some great motion handling. The fact that it's only £380 is the icing on a generally impressive cake. Read our full review

With the KDL-32W4000, Sony is following attempts by Panasonic and Sharp to kick-start an era of full HD resolution 32in panels. The screen's main attraction is that massive resolution, which will tempt gamers and Blu-rayers alike. This is impressively backed up by three HDMI inputs. Better still, one of them is situated on the TV's side, which will make occasional hook up of games consoles a cinch, whether on a desktop stand or wall-mounted. The KDL-32W4000's fabulous user interface and performance with colour and high-definition in general is enough to make this a decent value and attractive option if you're after a specialist HD screen.
